Using an Event - randomly pick a number (shows text)?

[diewas]

Hi.

How do I set it so that in an event (eg. my bulletin board) it picks a random number, say between 1-10 and depending on what number it is, it shows a different piece of text for each number? It is a random tip of the day board.

Example:

1 = Save regularly
2= Make sure you've talked to everyone before you declare you are stuck

When you click the bulletin event it picks either 1 or 2, and depending on which no. it chooses, it shows the appropriate text.


Thanks

pretty easy. Go to control variables, pick a variable and go to "Random" and set the range.

After that on the same event, create a conditional branch with:

 

Conditional branch: if [001-variable] = 1

 

Text: hello

end

 

--

 

Conditional branch: if [001-variable] = 2

 

Text: Sucka!

end

 

that should do the trick

Cheers - seems obvious now! I did once know, but gave up RMXP for a year or so, and now I'm getting back into it and i'd forgotten :D
